I came from a family of modest means and Harry (of blessed memory) came from a struggling family. In spite of that, our parents believed in volunteering their time in their respective synagogues and helping those in need. We married very young shortly after Harry’s return from service in WWII while he was still in college. As he entered the business world and became successful we became involved in the Jewish Federation and other charities.

I proudly honor Harry’s memory with my commitment to endow my Lion of Judah campaign gift knowing these funds will be used in the most meaningful way.

I’m truly satisfied knowing our three children share our same values and give very generously on their own.
